BANGS ACQUITTED.
The Jury Declares That He Fired the
Shots in Self Defense

ON%@ DOAOA~IDs
JACKSONVILLE, FLA, Oct. 22.-Before
the Coroners jury in the MacWilliams
case this forenoon, 7. A. Judson squarely
contradicted Winter, one of the witnesses
who testified that he saw the shooting. Jud-
son testified that he knew Winter well, and
that when the shooting occurred he Jud-
som was in the rear Of Houston's place, and
that Winter was there all the while.
Gilbert, gunsmith, testified that Mac
Williams usually carried one blank cart
ridge in his pistol
Mr. Pope said he had a witness who would
testify that he saw Houston and Bangs
standing on the corner listening to Mac
Williams quarrel with Thomas. The other
side then said they desired other witnesses
called and furnished a list of them.
A stop was put to this by the constables
refusing to serve the subpoenas without
some guarantee of their bills.
Chairman Robinson, of the County Com
missioners. had told them the county would
not pay the bills and the constables said
they could not afford to serve the papers for
nothing. The jury then closed the doors
for conference, and on their being opened
announced a recess to 3 O'Clock. But they
said they proposed to finish the inquest
then.
The jury rendered verdict of justitiable
homicide tonight. The finding was that
MacW illiams came to his death by gunshot
wounds inflicted by George Bangs, and they
found further that the killing was one in
self defense. Bangs is under arrest, with
Houston, Winter and Thomas and will ap-
pear Monday for examination.

President Paine, of the Sub-Tropical, says
all the work is going forward very satisfac-
tory. The work on the buildings and
grounds is a month ahead of their expecta-
tions. The first nstallment of the Bahama
exhibit came this week, and another is ex-
pected next month. Clarence Burnside,
the commissioner for the Bahamas, expects
to have very complete exhibit. Another
thing that Mn Paine spoke of was the ca
pacity of jacksonville and the near suburbs
to Accommodate the people. He had been
to Atlanta and knew what crush meant,
and the Sub-Tropical management pro-
posed to have ample accommodations here.

John Logan who came from ireland to
Illinois in 1923, served several terms in

Don't them burst out old Mr.. Hodg

young man was assuming. "We1l find

fully but firmly, shat / have been at
Turin for some time. / know the bust
ness there; and what came here to pro-
pose was that should have a small share
in the firm -"
Mr. Parr started and CALCULATED, "What,
sir"
Mr. Dunford laughed aloud and then
swore.
Mr. Hodgson choked and grasped for
breath. If a shell had burst III the room
it could not have occasioned more sur
prise than Tommy's modest request. If
the sweeper at the next crossing had de-
manIcd to he allowed TO help himself
from the drivers under the counter, it
would not have seemed SO absurd as this
demand of the junior clerks.
"Of course, having no capital, / expect
only a very small share in the business,
continued Tommy; but you will see that
as Count Marsoni's son-in-law
"What! What! What do you say :"
echoed the partners in various iRfec-
tions. AS Count Marsoni's son in-law
should be able TO influence large
amount of business, and 1t would be more
fitting if my name appeared in the name
of the branch firm

wonder, incredulity, and tinge of new
born respect for his clerk mingling in his
countenance.
1T is as good as settled, sir, said Tom
my, modestly. "Of course this is a pri-
yate matter, tut it is one that would nat
urally be taken into account
This was quite evident, and Tommy
having made his shot, rose, bowed, and
withdrew.
Before half an hour had passed the
firm had taken their resolution. The
share which Tommy was given repre-
scented little more than somewhat liber-
nj salary, but he was included as part
ner in the branch firm Of Hodgson, Dun
ford, Mathers d. Co., of Turin. As soon
as the partnership deed was executed,
Tommy returned TO Italy, and had an
other interview with the count, who, inn
agining that he had nisconceiyed the
young name true position all along, was

the wealthy house of English bankers

priety, be presented to society as his
